Made for young creators

Ages 4–12
A whole studio in their hands
Draw, tell stories and make music — three creative tools designed for small hands and big imaginations. Everything a child makes stays on the device.
What it does
One app for drawing, writing and composing — with a helper that suggests ideas a child can accept or ignore, never one that creates for them.
Story builder
Write stories with support for structure and vocabulary. Offers ideas when a child gets stuck, rather than writing for them.
Music composer
Build melodies by placing notes and hearing them played back. Suggests harmonies and rhythms to accept or ignore.
On-device creativity
The creative helper runs entirely on the device. Nothing a child makes is uploaded, and no account is required.
Age-adapted content
Three tiers (4–6, 7–9, 10–12) adjust the interface, prompts, vocabulary and complexity — one app from Reception through primary school.
Parental controls
A maths gate to enter, session time limits, and a private creation gallery. No social sharing, no public gallery, no strangers.
Creating, not just consuming
Most apps aimed at children are built to hold attention. Sparks Studio is built to spark it — every session ends with something a child actually made.
- Three creative tools: draw, write and compose.
- A helper that offers ideas, never finishes the work.
- Apple Pencil support with full pressure sensitivity.
- Finished drawings, storybooks and tunes saved in a private gallery.
Who it's for
Sparks Studio is for parents who want a creative app for kids that replaces passive scrolling — a safe, ad-free drawing and storytelling app that grows from Reception through primary school without ever asking for an account.
Families leaving passive video
A creative alternative to endless watching — children make drawings, stories and music instead of just consuming them.
Privacy-minded parents
No accounts, no cloud uploads, no ads and no tracking. What a child makes stays on the device.

Apple Pencil households
Full pressure sensitivity makes the drawing canvas feel natural on iPad with Apple Pencil.
Built for trust

How Sparks Studio compares
Create, don't just play
Where many kids' apps centre on exploring play worlds or mini-games, Sparks Studio is built around making things — drawings, storybooks and music.
Grows with the child
Three age tiers cover 4–12 in a single app, instead of a narrow age band you outgrow in a year or two.
On-device helper
An age-adapted creative helper runs on the device rather than sending a child's work to a server.
Privacy by default
No data collection, no ads and full Apple Pencil pressure sensitivity for natural drawing.
Frequently asked questions
Is it safe for young children?
Yes. There is no social sharing, no public gallery and no stranger interaction — a maths gate keeps settings out of little hands.
Does it need an account or the internet?
No. The creative helper runs on-device, nothing is uploaded, and there is no sign-up.
